Hi, I'm Kristine.
I'm an author and educator from Norway.
I love to teach about art and art history.
I love to help people all over the world discover this immense treasure, show them that art history is both exciting and fun, and that it may bring never-ending inspiration to our own lives.
I remember how it was to visit museums and galleries and not being able to enjoy what I was seeing, because I didn't know where to start. I was disappointed in myself. Disappointed, because something in me knew what was in front of me was great, but I couldn't see it.
Art history studies, living for many years in Paris, frequent travels to other cities and countries have not only given me knowledge which has opened the world of art to me, but has also given me a deep desire to share this with others.
For years, I have been teaching on stage, while traveling, and in my online classrooms. It's wonderful to see how online teaching has made these treasures available across all kinds of boundaries. We can talk with each other, learn from each other, and we grow as human beings.
You will learn:
- You will get excellent knowledge about the Baroque, and discover how this period manifested itself in painting, sculpture and architecture.
- Through knowledge of the Baroque, you'll start to understand all kinds of art in a whole new way.
- We learn about symbols and themes in art, something that totally changes the art experience.
- Every week we get to know artists, see beautiful works of art, both paintings, sculpture, buildings, and we hear exciting stories and anecdotes.
- You will learn exactly where to find these works of art in real life.
- You will obtain an excellent basis for planning future travels, particularly to Rome, but also to other cites in Italy, and Holland, France, Germany, yes Europe in general.
- I am available for your questions throughout the whole course period.
